Los Angeles Is Getting A Second Cat Cafe In Culver City
Soon, Los Angeles is not going to have just one, but two cat cafes! As Crumbs & Whiskers prepares for its public grand opening on September 30, CatCafe Lounge has announced their plans to open in Culver City come early 2017, according to Eater LA.
CatCafe Lounge will offer guests a chance to interact with a number of cats, each one available for adoption. Owner Kristi Galvan told Eater that the cafe will offer coffee, teas, kombucha, cold brew to drink, as well as a few pastries and vegan food options. The shop is a nonprofit, and all proceeds will go towards fostering and adopting more cats.
According to a promotional video full of adorable kittens, CatCafe will be the "largest cat cafe on the West Coast."

We'll have to stay tuned for more details regarding CatCafe Lounge's prices and reservation options, but we'd guess they'll be similar to Crumbs & Whiskers where $22 will net you 75 minutes of play time with 15-20 cats at a time.
CatCafe Lounge will be located at 11913 Washington Blvd. in Culver City
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
